2022 Nissan Sentra SV

The 2022 Sentra is a compact sedan that slots below the Altima, offering a comfortable ride and a long list of standard safety tech. It competes with the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3, though it leans more toward comfort than sporty driving. The Sentra handles competently with light steering, making it easy to maneuver in the city, though it is not quick. Inside, the Sentra offers a spacious rear seat and a large trunk, but the cabin plastics feel hard and dated. A 7.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, along with Nissan's Safety Shield 360 suite. The SV skips the SR's sporty appearance package and a few extras, though it keeps the same powertrain and standard safety tech. The 2.0L I4 makes 149 horsepower, and the CVT keeps it in its sweet spot, earning 33 mpg combined in mixed driving.
